Porto Alegre: The Latest Architecture and News

+ 28

The second edition of this week-long series of urbanism-related activities will highlight the transformative power of walking. To this end, we are joining the international Jane's Walk community to honor the life and work of urbanist, activist, writer, and journalist Jane Jacobs, and to host the debut of Jane's Walk Porto Alegre!

The exhibition showcases social housing complexes in Latin America—specifically in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico—built between the 1950s and 1970s, representing an important legacy of modernity. The extensive collection of photographs, drawings, graphics, and texts regarding the projects and works researched highlights their formal and functional characteristics, construction techniques, open spaces, and social facilities, as well as their integration into the urban fabric of their respective cities. Recognizing these aspects provides a counterpoint to current Brazilian social housing production and encourages a renewal of reflection and discussion on a topic that is undeniably of vital importance to society as a whole.
